Background: Recent advances in the understanding the pathophysiology paranasal sinuses have revolutionized the surgical management of chronic and recurrent sinusitis. Paranasal sinus is air-filled spaces in the interior skull and facial bones. Symptoms of a common cold include nasal discharge, nasal obstruction, headache, and nasal allergy in the majority of patients. CT is a superlative modality to describe the sinus anatomy along with soft tissue structure. As compared to sinus radiographs, computed tomography scanning has improved the imaging of paranasal sinus anatomy. Objective: To determine paranasal sinuses in evaluation of sinusitis using computed tomography. Material Methods: From October 2020 to March 2021, a cross-sectional analysis was performed at Aziz Bhatti Shaheed (DHQ) Teaching Hospital Gujrat and Azeem ultrasound and diagnostic center Gujrat. Data of 100 patients was collected through convenient sampling technique adults and children with sinusitis were included in the study data of patients with recent cold associated with irritated nasal discharge and headache along with congestion was collected from the patients. For data processing, the Statistical Kit for the Social Sciences (spss) is used. Results: Out of 100 patients 50 were male & 50 were female majority of the patients were in 25-40 age group. 12 out of 100 had nasal obstructions, 27 patients were presented with headache, 27 patients had the history of facial pain. Maxillary sinuses are mostly involved in study 13 had bilateral maxillary sinusitis 13% left maxillary right sphenoidal and ethmoidal sinusitis followed by ethmoid sinus and frontal sinus. Mucosal thickening (mild 76 percent, moderate 20 percent) is the most often observed mass and symptom of sinusitis. The final result came out 5 % PAN sinusitis. Conclusion: Pathologies in paranasal sinuses is frequently found on computed tomography imaging and has to be cured or monitored consequently. The best modality for diagnosing ........
